We summarize several results about non-simplicity, solvability and normal structure of finite groups related to the number of conjugacy classes appearing in the product or the power of conjugacy classes. We also collect some problems that…

We prove two approximations of the open problem of whether the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent nil ring can be finitely generated: We show that the adjoint group of a non-nilpotent Jacobson radical cannot be boundedly generated, and on the…

We prove that if a group generated by a bireversible Mealy automaton contains an element of infinite order, its growth blows up and is necessarily exponential. As a direct consequence, no infinite virtually nilpotent group can be generated…

Given a finitely generated group $G$, we are interested in common geometric properties of all graphs of faithful actions of $G$. In this article we focus on their growth. We say that a group $G$ has a Schreier growth gap $f(n)$ if every…

Let N be a finitely generated normal subgroup of a Gromov hyperbolic group G. We establish criteria for N to have solvable conjugacy problem and be conjugacy separable in terms of the corresponding properties of G/N. We show that the…

Every countable group that does not contain a finitely generated subgroup of exponential growth imbeds in a finitely generated group of subexponential growth. This produces in particular the first examples of groups of subexponential growth…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…

Given an inverse semigroup $G_0$ of bounded type, we show, along with some other assumptions, that if the set of incompressible elements of $G_0$ is finite, then any finitely generated subgroup $G$ of the topological full group…

Full residual finiteness growth of a finitely generated group $G$ measures how efficiently word metric $n$-balls of $G$ inject into finite quotients of $G$. We initiate a study of this growth over the class of nilpotent groups. When the…

We show that there exist finitely generated soluble groups which are not LERF but which do not contain strictly ascending HNN extensions of a cyclic group. This solves Problem 16.2 in the Kourovka notebook. We further show that there is a…

We provide the first example of virtually nilpotent group, with a specific generating set, for which the Green series (sometimes called cogrowth series) is not $D$-finite. The proof relies on an arithmetical miracle, and the study of the…

It is shown that there exist finitely generated infinite simple groups of infinite commutator width and infinite square width on which there exists no stably unbounded conjugation-invariant norm, and in particular stable commutator length…

In a recent paper, Henry Bradford showed that all sufficiently fast growing functions appear as the residual finiteness growth function of some group. In this paper we show that the groups there constructed are conjugacy separable and that…

The residual finiteness growth $\text{RF}_G: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ of a finitely generated group $G$ is a function that gives the smallest value of the index $[G:N]$ with $N$ a normal subgroup not containing a non-trivial element $g$,…

We prove that every finitely generated residually finite group $G$ can be embedded in a finitely generated branch group $\Gamma$ such that two elements in $G$ are conjugate in $G$ if and only if they are conjugate in $\Gamma$. As an…

Thompson's theorem stated that a finite group $G$ is solvable if and only if every $2$-generated subgroup of $G$ is solvable. In this paper, we prove some new criteria for both solvability and nilpotency of a finite group using certain…

We show that a relatively hyperbolic group either is virtually cyclic or has uniform exponential growth.

In this article we study a class of central extensions of $\mathbb{Z}\wr\mathbb{Z}$, as first described by Hall. On the one hand, we consider groups of this type with cyclic centre, our construction yields a rich class of groups. In…

We prove that for a finitely generated infinite nilpotent group G with a first order structure (G,*,...), the connected component G*0 of a sufficiently saturated extension G* of G exists and equals $\bigcap_{n\in\N} {g^n : g\in G^*}$. We…

We give effective proofs of residual finiteness and conjugacy separability for finitely generated nilpotent groups. In particular, we give precise asymptotic bounds for a function introduced by Bou-Rabee that measures how large the…
